Lando Norris’ ever-growing love of golf

This comes as no surprise to many, considering that Norris has arguably spent more time on the track than any other F1 driver on the current grid.

In 2020, Norris even believed that golf was the most physical sport he had to play in his life. Interestingly enough, he competes in Formula 1 and drives around in a car that produces as many G-forces as a fighter jet that flies in the air.

“Golf is one of the most physical sports I’ve ever done. My abdominal muscles feel it. Am I doing this right? “Wrote the McLaren driver on Twitter.
